It is my reflection
But I know it's not me
I am becoming something else
I feel the weight of the key
This place is falling apart
There's no way back
Passing through the gates
A new shadow will reveal itself
The stories have run their course
None of them make sense
We're all someone else's fool
Buried in our own debris
Destroy the things you know
Destroy yourself in shame
Before tomorrow comes
Destroy everything
Our faith alone won't sustain
We're in a state of slow decay
I hear forgive and forget
But I see there's no way
Seen it through the accolades
It all should be a great success
But there are so many burdens
World is heavy and full of distress
The stories have run their course
None of them make sense
We're all someone else's fool
Buried in our own debris
Destroy the things you know
Destroy yourself in shame
Before tomorrow comes
Destroy everything
Our faith alone won't sustain
We're in a state of slow decay
I hear forgive and forget
But I see there's no way
But I know it's not me
I am becoming something else
I feel the weight of the key
This place is falling apart
There's no way back
Passing through the gates
A new shadow will reveal itself
The stories have run their course
None of them make sense
We're all someone else's fool
Buried in our own debris
Destroy the things you know
Destroy yourself in shame
Before tomorrow comes
Destroy everything
Our faith alone won't sustain
We're in a state of slow decay
I hear forgive and forget
But I see there's no way
Seen it through the accolades
It all should be a great success
But there are so many burdens
World is heavy and full of distress
The stories have run their course
None of them make sense
We're all someone else's fool
Buried in our own debris
Destroy the things you know
Destroy yourself in shame
Before tomorrow comes
Destroy everything
Our faith alone won't sustain
We're in a state of slow decay
I hear forgive and forget
But I see there's no way

I think this is telling of what the state of the world is & has been becoming, the hopelessness felt by so many in this current regime and how it seems never-ending at this point in time.
